The L.S. Starrett Company Financial Ratios 2023-2009 | SCX

Brief overview of The L.S. Starrett Company's valuation and returns

Ratios are assessed across five available annual reports in the 2019–2023 interval.

The valuation comparison uses P/E 3.63x (median 7.82x), EV/EBITDA 5.66x (median 6.82x), P/S 0.33x (median 0.69x). The combined multiple level is about 52.5% below the company's historical norm, suggesting more cautious expectations.

The 1/P/E calculation produces a 27.5% earnings yield. It does not capture future growth or capital structure.

The latest available business-quality ratios are ROE 17.8%, ROA 12%, ROCE 14.6%. Quality ratios send a mostly positive signal: resources are productive, with room for improvement.

The cash conversion cycle decreased 172.9 days to 164.5 days, supporting working-capital efficiency.

Overall picture

The L.S. Starrett Company combines strong fundamental efficiency with valuation below its own five-year norm. The discount merits attention but should be checked against sector and financial risks.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company The L.S. Starrett Company, allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
